But however obvious the ad vantages were that must result from the extensiou inland net igation ie fielard, it kvas l equally obi,iout that such was the blatt ut private property in Ireland' that any very large atolls , could nut be advanced by individuals for that purpose. It therefore btcatue ne cessary thgt the public aid should Le granted for the promotioo arid encooragement ,of -an object of sech general utility, zip(' lrc waii as sUre that Gentlemen v: child agree with him thinking that the public money coeld nut .be appropriated to tuore advantnee t than in the -promotion of that system. When the of Ireland granted the :500,000.1. before mentioned. it was aware of theabuses that frequent ly'oceur in the expeeditnee of public menu, and • alto of the inconvenience ,that was likely to result from applicatiota being .. made to Goveinment 'reirvedir.4 without tho7.e. applications hay iug previously Fubtpitt;:d tit flit ettatTlicia lions of perauns employed for the 'purpose of euch investigations, aucl therefore it appointed .a Beard,. not oily to controul the expeucti, tore of the Money g . anted, bur to examine all the applications respecting Canals. ' If Parliament ‘i , as disposed to grant any money for the obje& be was now recommending, he did not know any servant ofo he Crewe, who was sufficient master of the sub ktel to be able to advise rite House respeeing any sp plicatioos for the assistancelifpublictuoney for these ,DpUrrpiei, Without the assistance of. such a Board as yad bLfen establisised. Crtaloly Such was the na titre of his avocations that he could not undertake to give any Very (fistula opinion to Parliament up no the propriety of such applications without such assistance much less did, he conceive, whatever re , see6t he might have for` the Members of that House, that any Committee above stairs could examine the subject in stroll a Manner aV to justify it in coining to a resolution toadvise any grant of public money. Concei.vieg, .therefore, that it would be most : de eirable to promn;e the extension of the Inland Na vigation of Ireland—that that object could not be at tamed withotit applications to Parliament tor. pub lic aid—that no person standing in the tion in which' he did, could be sufficiently master of the aubjea to be able to recommend to Parlianaeut the grant -a public Money v. ithout. the assistance of the board, and that no Comm i ttee ofthe House could be able to investigate and get to the bottom of the applications that would be made, unlesS by the 3s. Instance of the Board—he should propose in the Bill which he meant to bring in, if the Committee gave him leave, to centinue that Board in existence, and to provide that the salaries which had hither() been phi 'out of the turids •granted for the Inland Navelation; should be paid out of the Consolidated • Pend.

Ile wee; coesitieed that the opinions of the Honourable Baronet wets founded in false notions of public ceeonomy, and the public, he was sure, was never so .well steved e as when the persons employed were paid for their leboer, and were responsible for their condit6t.— , The Ifeeoterable Baronet had insinuated, that diem Were other trot vets, besides those of public utility vi , hieh leg so the appointment of this Board, but the Honouraole Baronet must recolle6t, though he was not in Parliament when the'Union - passed, that M (1100611 almost every sobjeCt connected with that subject was debated with the greatest eagerness and peise‘eranee; yet that this plan for the encourage ment of the Inland Navigation met with the general concurrence of all parties, and he believed the Hon. Baronet, was the first individual who suspected it to hoe . originated in motives of undue influence. Be lore the .establishment of this 13o.nid, the money granted for Inland Navigation was not granted upon enlarged views . of general utility. Every Gentleman in Pfrliament bad hislayburittecanal, and it became a sobjeet of perpetual contention, and lie confessed, that however noxious he was to promote the Inland I .Navigation of Ireland, he should sallied to the grant of public money `for that purpose, unless it was to be, expended upoh some general and ,systematic . plan.. 'Witten-specie° what. had been said about smelting this a permanent Board, it must be obvious to every Gentleman that it could net be in contem plation to emitioue the Board, after the system over which they were appointed to preside had ceased to operate, BefOre he sat down, he wished to retaind the Hunourable Baronet, in answer to what had been .said about this Board being appointed for pur poses. of inhuence,, that the- person originally ap pointed:as the beftd•of this * Board was Mr. Sackville Hamilton, to Gentleman whose talents were univer- Sally acknowledged, and who was totally unconnect ed with the poie4:s of the day. Sir JOHN NLWPoIiT said, that notwithstanding what had . fallen front the Noble Lord, he was still inclined to believe, that this, among other Boards, had been considered at the time of the Union as a scheme to carry that measure into died, and he tnieht call upon a. colleague u 1 the Noble Lord to say, whether ltel did pot in his Conscience believe th,it this was the case. Two of she Boards then Con-. stituted had been aboliked, and this ought to be abolished. Mr. PASSEL cbjcaed to the mode of. proceeding which had hetet adopted, which was to vote' for the 010Mo:ince of 'the Board 'betUre atny tnoney was voted for the inland Navie * ation. , He thought the best way would be to refer the applications for pub -lie assistanceen a Select et' o nce of the House; which might determine Upon their merits, With respect to the mode now proposed, he illiquid cer• taiuly divide the Cpuita.ttee t)liett Sir ,arcane Weeessestv said, he thought it ex tval.raittory I.4ehtl!men who protessud them selves t renaiy to the gencial nlcasore should appose the i;iil aiuo eti belt. all the objects for, which wereoemenatee might be introduced when it !-O in Cennnittee.

SOLSM AVIS DIOSAR 1 I ALaUM AUPS LONDON. WEDNICIDAV, MARCH 29, 1809. This morning a Gottedurgh Mail arrived. If we may credit the intelligence which it brings, the Revolution in Sweden has been effifted with very little disturbance. The Duke ; of . SUDERMANIA has issued a, long Proclamation, in which he sets forth the motives which,induced him to depose his Nephew, and to assume the reins of Goveinment. `The principal charge against his Swedish Majesty Is, that he refused to become a party to the Treaty of Tilsit, even though such a measbre was not ob jected to on the part of Great Britain. I The last accounts from Spain are of such a nature as to revive the liopes of every friend to that country. By the letter of . Capt. WKINLEY, in the Gazette of last night, it appears that Gallicia-is animated by. the most ardent. spirit,of loyalty, The Seville ea , pets to the 4th contain an article, dated Chaves, Feb. 13, which states,-that ROMANA'S army was•in high spirits, would soon amount to f 26,000,, and would immediately, march into, Gallieia. The Pa. triots in that Province had captured the baggage and ' treasure of General MARCHAUD. The Enemy was in great want. The armies of- the Duke DINIPAN• TADO elld Count PALACIOS were advancing Very fast towards nidrid. General : lll4)mo, it is an:d, hail tiaceeeded :obtaining Barcelona, and Fort Mont Joy, its chief defence. The French in conse. quence had retreated from ad the Eastern Provinces. A sole , no theaksgiving whs Observed 'on theoceasion by the Spanish armies. We shall rejoice. to find that these accounts are well founded, but We confess we fear they are verypuch exaggerated. The; letters dated from CeAlz and Seville are equally gratifying. lt is said thm Jo rra Buox,v- PAUIt left Madrid on the 22d, and bis worse Was unknown. The people had previously sbewn a twat .want of reseed, for ihe ,Usurper,' and zesurned the national cockade on his departure, regardless-of the French troops that 'remained. The Central - Junta hadissued a decree, in consequence of the enormi. ties predicted by the enemy, of which it gives a sua cinet statement, and appealing to all Europe for the justice of their proceedings, declares, that no guar. icr shall be ,given to French .troops taken prisoners in . any pl,ice where'aels have been - committed contrary to t h e: laws of war. The Spanish peasantry . ,had ran dered the road between Bnrgos and Madrid immi; newly dangerous to every French Agent, rindhid even impeded the 'communication between distineV bodies of the French Artily: By accounts from , Lisbott, darted' the it Bth, it sp. pews that the Portuguese are highly offentled:,at the clespairing . tmoner in which their power and dis• posainn towards the Enemy are mentioned in t hi s coluniy, and the reports of British Officers in Portugal bear the most favourable testimony as to the spirit and patriotism of the, people. We have now about 18,000 troops .in that country,• who are ordered to advance towards.Ciltavesi where the enemy had arrived, but not till after they had met with a strong reiiitance from the Portoguese. The Gazote of last night contains very ample de taiLs of the proceedings of our laud and Sea Forces eMployed in the attack upon Martinique, • and +Are trust that many days will not elapse bcfore we : have the satistadion of announcing- to our Headers the complete conquest of that valuable Iststid.• WINT)II,NSTIER AitaTilk:o..--tai pursuance of a rentilsition.to the MO Bailiff, a meeting took place this day in Westminster.
